<p>Should I trust rust-highfive at assigning someone to a PR or should I assign someone myself? I'm not sure if uses some kind of code ownership or anything like that, or just assigning next person in a list of potential reviewers.</p>

<p>rust-highfive has a list of reviewers depending on what part of the repository you've changed, as I understand it, it isn't fine-grained (like code owners normally are), but more like "any of the compiler". I believe it picks from those reviewers at random. I tend to let highfive pick a reviewer unless there is someone I know to be better suited (e.g. the person who wrote mentoring instructions, or who I know to work on that part of the compiler a lot).</p>
